New South Wales have become the first team to reach the final of the Twenty20 Champions league in India after they turned in a superb performance to beat another Australian team, Victoria.

Simon Katich won the toss and had no hesitation in asking to bat first, and his team responded by posting a healthy total of 169 from their 20 overs.

David Warner top scored for New South Wales with a quick fire 48 up front.

Victoria were never in the run chase and they only managed 90-9 from their 20 overs as New South Wales comfortably reached the final.

In the final New South Wales will play either Trinidad and Tobago or the Cape Cobras, Trinidad and Tobago stunned the cricket world last year when they won their regional Stanford Twenty20 tournament.

Daren Ganga's men have maintained that form in this competition in India and they are the only unbeaten team so far in the Champions league.

It is hard to See Trinidad and Tobago upsetting the Betting Odds and winning the title.
